Default Where's the beef?

"UPS officials say it's the first time the company had hauled a herd of bovines in the belly of one of its Boeing 747 freighters."

Nice article. Especially the photo of the jet with the new UPS livery. Who would have ever thought it.

from UPS Uberto, spokesman -

it's the first time the company had hauled a herd of bovines in the belly of one of its Boeing 747 freighters.

Is this guy related to Baghdad Bob?

Later Uberto mentioned - "There's also a lot of BS involved in this operation"

Brings new meaning to the word 'steerage class'
If it was such a momentus occasion why did'nt UPS use one of their own a/c?

NOT ... 109 crewmembers on furlough. We could have had the crews for this flight. Like it or not. We are down 50+ crews. Reality sucks ...

As for the cargo, it all pays the same ... unless SCS does the bidding !
